They Have Different Cameras with OIS or EIS Technologies

Since the photographic section is one of the most important sections of our mobile, all the integrated technologies, and which aims to improve the final result of a photo or video, are important. But these technologies can vary from one mobile to another, and show us initials that sometimes we do not fully understand. Precisely for this reason, today we are going to tell you about the differences between Electronic Image Stabilization and Optical Image Stabilization.

Different Cameras with OIS or EIS Technologies

When it comes to aiming and shooting, we are all clear that to avoid a blurred or blurred photo, we must keep the mobile still before pressing the shutter button. As our mobiles have become more sophisticated, the image stabilization technologies have been integrated, being something normal, and equating a little more to the classic reflex or compact cameras. In these technologies, it is easy to find two types of stabilization: EIS and OIS

EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization)

We are dealing with a stabilization method that relies on software as a tool to achieve better results. In other words, it uses components known as CCDs, that is, photo-sensors that convert optical signals into electrical signals. The work of EIS stabilization is done by superimposing images and comparing them to determine where there may have been flaws in the focus and make corrections. That is, you can make pixel cuts in milli-seconds to insert them with others and so that the image corrects your imperfections.

This method has many advantages, including the cost of integrating it into a smartphone, but its optimization must be millimetric, and the quality obtained from one mobile to another varies greatly, even having the same sensor or the same megapixels.

OIS (Electronic Image Stabilization)

In this case, the hardware itself is used to perform image stabilization. In other words, instead of processing software (which also does its later work), sophisticated mechanical elements come into play to achieve better results. In the OIS chaos it is a glass prism that is placed in front of the lens, in order to move the moved image. In other words, it can react to our movement to balance the image at all times and avoid blurred or blurred images.

One of its drawbacks is that its manufacture is more expensive , which increases the final price of the mobile and reserves it for high-end or premium medium terminals. It also tends to slightly increase the weight of the devices, and although it is almost imperceptible, it makes a little more noise when started.

Which is better?

Inertia can lead us to affirm that OIS stabilization, being performed by hardware and being more expensive, is more effective. However, in this case a lot depends on the quality of the materials, the lens and even the subsequent processor. Similarly, EIS stabilization relies on painstaking software optimization, which is not well tuned, it won’t do any good either. In this case, it is very important to trust the manufacturer, or even the previous experience of each one. In addition, on our site we analyze each mobile in detail, so you will never have doubts about the performance of each camera.
